This was the first year that we had our Buddy Walk inside. It actually worked out nicely, since it rained that day, and it would have been cancelled otherwise. They had everything set up in a way that made the activities flow nicely.
We invited Kamdyn's entire preschool class to come to the Buddy Walk, and we were thrilled that one of her classmates and his mom came. That's him in the picture below with, what I think might be, the world's scariest mascot.
They had all of the usual activities: bounce houses and slides, pumpkin painting, therapy dogs, raffle, and a walk around the hallways.
I can't help but think of how far we've come in these last few years. For me personally, from being a terrified and worried mom, who was very unsure of the journey before us; to being a mom who just enjoys her kid and loves being a part of a pretty awesome community of people that is connected by Down syndrome.
